The IDI Group Companies

communities at Leisure World of Maryland and Leisure World of Virginia (now Lansdowne Woods of Virginia). With these successes, IDI became the foremost developer of condominium communities in the Washington DC area. IDI’s portfolio includes over 12,000 condominiums, 1,000 single family homes, 2.7 million square feet of office and retail space, 1,400 hotel rooms and 2,400 acres of land development for residential construction. IDI pioneered the development of active adult living with the transformation of Leisure World of Maryland and the creation of Leisure World of Virginia. IDI also converted 3,000 high-rise and garden units in multiple communities into workforce-affordable condominiums. Each IDI community reflects our commitment to excellence and a focus on our core principles of integrity, vision, innovation and quality.
